Using Navigation Path (Breadcrumbs) in the Web Interface

Aptify Web 6.0 has introduced the Navigation Path (Breadcrumbs) that provides the users with an ability to track the path user traverse from the Home page to the current page. The navigation path is reflected horizontally on the navigation bar and defines the structure of the Aptify Web Interface. They provide links back to each previous or parent page the user navigated through to get to the current page. The Breadcrumbs provide a trail for the user to follow back to the Home or intermediate points. A greater-than sign (>) is used as hierarchy separator between the links.

The representation of the navigation path on the navigation bar varies from scenario to scenario. Following are the example scenarios and their respective navigation path:
